His New York Times phenomenon The Prayer of Jabez changed how millions pray. Now Bruce Wilkinson wants to change what they do next. Anyone can do a good deed, but some good works can only happen by a direct intervention from God. Around the world these acts are called miracles—not that even religious people expect…

This is a difficult book to write a review for. I didn’t hate it. But I didn’t love it, either. Honestly. The story line was cute and fun. It was an “easy read”. But the style just didn’t work for me. The story is about a pair of twins – one male and one female…

“Imagine Your Life Without Fear”… the subtitle for this book says it all. Max Lucado uses countless truths from Scripture to point his readers to the source of all life – fearless life – Jesus Christ. This book is a MUCH needed resource for life today. Each chapter in this book addresses the question “Why…

You will roll on the floor laughing. Or at least laugh out loud. This book is HILARIOUS! The Rossi family is an “upper class” Italian family uprooted from Italy (older generation) and New Jersey to Galveston Island, Texas. I kept picturing “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” with all the crazy characters in the Rossi family…

At first glance, this book looks to be an easy, enjoyable read. However, within the first twenty pages, I found myself struggling to stick with the story. (The language of this book is “settler-English” and at times is difficult to follow the sentence structure.) All that to say, I actually enjoyed the book quite a…

Tracie Peterson is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. She continues to produce such incredible books, it’s hard not to enjoy her. And this first book in her newest series, “Song of Alaska” is no different. The vivid detail of the late 1800s, the depth of the characters’ lives and stories, the engaging story…

When I was given the opportunity to review another book by Tracie Peterson, I jumped at the chance. I remembered enjoying her detailed story telling and engaging plots when I had the chance to review her book “A Dream to Call My Own” back in June. This book, co-authored with Judith Miller, did not disappoint….

WaterBrook Press gave me the opportunity to participate in their “Back-to-School Fiction” blog tour that is featuring three books this week. Book one is “Rose House” by Tina Ann Forkner: A vivid story of a private grief, a secret painting, and one woman’s search for hope.Still mourning the loss of her family in a tragic…

(Post was written a few weeks back when I received this book in the mail.) It’s 2:05 am. When I checked the mailbox this morning (actually, yesterday morning, now), I had yet another book in the mail that needed to be read and reviewed. I think my stack is close to 15 books now that…

…that is the question. First, some of you might be asking “What in the world is ‘WIC’?” so I want to take a minute to explain to you what it is before I start debating it. WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. It’s a nutritional program for pregnant/nursing mothers and children through age five….
